The sad thing is, Alden are good shoemakers, on par with Crockett & Jones.
They don't deserve to be hijacked by the iGents and turned into a regimental mascot.

I see the useless tilly chap has a new avatar. My guess is that they are the four suits in his wardrobe.
tilly is like a germ, it always hangs around and annoys people.

This strikes me as very curious. One guy starts off by noting that the Bass Gilman (a perfectly serviceable, inexpensive shoe, I wore a pair yesterday) is on sale for $77.
I would think the discussion, if any, would be along the lines of "Not a bad deal, but if you're willing to spend X dollars more you can get a shoe that is much better and will last longer."
Instead we get a guy proclaiming that $65 is the top price he would pay for a Bass Gilman.
Why $65? Is that extra $12 budgeted for athlete's foot powder? The rent?

Tripe, looking for yet another outlet for his enormous personality, asks about the shirt monogram. (First the shirt monogram, then the red bemberg in the sack suit, then Sulka or Sy Devore.)
